The film is based on street cricket played in India, focussing on various themes as friendship, love and rivalry in a suburban area. Following its theatrical release on 27 April 2007, it received critical acclaim and emerged a surprise sleeper hit, going on to achieve cult status in the subsequent years and is often cited as one of the first independent Tamil films. The film's title is derived from the pincode for Mandaveli, a suburb of Chennai, where the story takes place.
